Frequently asked questions
What is the Renewables Obligation (RO)?
The RO is the UK Government's main policy instrument for supporting large-scale renewable electricity. It rewards operators for the renewable fraction of their waste-derived fuel through Renewables Obligation Certificate (ROCs) payments.
What is biogenic carbon?
Biogenic carbon originates from biological sources such as trees, plants and soil matter. It's often referred to as Biogenic CO2.
How is biogenic carbon content measured?
We repeatedly measure Carbon 14 from waste plant emissions. The percentage of Carbon 14 found indicates the renewable energy content percentage.
